An ego-motion determination system (fig. 1, item 12) is disclosed for generating an estimate as to the ego-motion of a vehicle (fig. 1, item 10) moving along a roadway (fig. 1, item 11). The ego-motion determination system includes an image information receiver (fig. 1, item 13) and a processor (fig. 1, item 14). The image information receiver (fig. 1, item 13) is configured to receive image information relating to a series of at least two images recorded as the vehicle moves along a roadway (fig. 1, item 11). The processor is configured to process the image information received by the image receiver to generate an ego-motion estimate of the vehicle, including the translation of the vehicle in the forward direction and the rotation of the vehicle around a vertical axis as between, for example, successive images (see fig. 3)
